This morning Kyle's neurosurgeon and respiratory therapist were debating over whether to leave his ventilator in another day ... the compromise was to check his lungs and make sure everything was alright. They ended up clearing a lot of mucus out of his lungs.
For some information, we're trying to find a good website that explains about AVM.
Today, not to much was going on. We tried to make sure he got a lot of rest, for having such a busy day yesterday. Some colleagues stopped by to show support, and we able to see Kyle for a few minutes. Upon them leaving the room, Kyle raised his hand and waived goodbye.
The swelling and color in his right eye has decreased and is looking much better; although the right side of his face is still quite swollen. We are making sure we keep ice packs on this swelling to help it decrease. Also, the ventilation was decreased to a CPAP .... which is continuing to help him with his breathing. We are happy that he is continuing to do very well.
We are very greatful for all of the wonderful nurses and staff who continually taking great care of him.
Thanks Lynette for doing this blog. We are all anxious to hear about Kyle's recovery. We continue to pray for Kyle and your family. I have to say this is hardest on the wife! Hold strong you are doing awesome Lynette!!

love you colette
Lynette,
ReplyDeleteInstead of calling you, we thought we would just write and let you know we are thinking and praying for you. We are glad we can check the blog instead of taking your time. This way you can use your energy to take care of your family. You are amazing and we know you will be strong for Kyle!
Love, Lloyd and Kirsten
Lynette, Some of the people I learned to love the most were Travis's nurses. I found they would answer any question we had and not make us feel it was a dumb one.They were so strong and cared so much. Know that we are thinking of you and your family and you're in our prayers. Doing a blog is a smart way to go, frees up your time but keeps all who care in the loop. Hang in there! Moalee
ReplyDeleteJust so you know Blanchards are reading the blog and will add Kyle and the rest of you to our prayers. Let him know if there is a good time to do so.

Kyle, We love you!!! We are keeping you in our prayers. Throughout the day, my thoughts turn to you and hope that you are doing well. It was great to have you squeeze my hand so hard, I wasn't expecting that so soon. You are such a fighter. I know that your love for your family is a strong motivation to get well.
